Meatballs

These meatballs are quick and easy to make, and can be easily modified to suit your personal tastes. You can add Parmesan cheese into the mix if you like as well.

Meatballs
Adapted from Betty Crocker "Heart Health Edition Cookbook"
6 servings, 3 meatballs each

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (I used 80% lean)
1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 small onion, chopped - if this is too much onion for you, feel free to use half as much
1 egg

1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees.

2. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients.

3. Using a medium ice cream scoop, shape mixture into meatballs, placing them in ungreased baking pans.

4. Bake uncovered 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 160F degrees.

5. Enjoy!
